Hey everyone,
I would like for you to remember my sister in prayer. Her name is Mary. She is having some pretty serious heath concerns right now. She's a person who takes care of everyone except herself. Just pray that if it God's will he will heal her or give her peace in any case. Just pray that the doctors will be an instrument in God's hand.
Thanks :)

Hi Kathy.
I’m sorry to hear about your sister Mary, Kathy I will be praying to God concerning your sister and a speedy recovery of your Sister Mary’s health and wellbeing and that God comforts her in what she is going through.
In God’s Love. Richard.

Kathy, I will keep Mary in my prayers. I had a sister like that. She is paralyzed from a stroke and my Oldest Neice lives with her. She has care while she works. It seems some people just give and give without anyone seeing there need.
In His Love,
Marlene

Thanks guys I know I can always count on my friends here to pray! It's great what a difference Christian brothers and sisters make in our lives!
You're all too sweet! One thing I neglected to add about my sister. She knows that God is good she prayed for my little grand son and enlisted everyone she knew to pray for him! She is a smoker, I think this is what her illness is related to. I have tried to get her to quit for years, but I guess it's just an addiction not easily kicked.
She cried this morning and said she went to a church called the "Cowboy Church" this past Sunday and they prayed for her and anointed her with oil for healing. I told her that was very sweet of them to do that for her. She and her husband have always been on the country music scene they have played and sang for years, not famous, mind you just playing for friends and such. They just did a benefit for a girl in their town who is in need of a house and they raised enough money to finish building a house someone started for her but ran out of money. My sister worked on that benefit in an incredible amount of pain, I know. Just wanted you to know a little more.
Thanks!
Kathy :)

I will pray for your sister and may God be glorified by what is happening in her life.

Praying for your sister Kathy.
The scripture comes to mind.. the prayer of a righteous man availeth much, I am not sure where the scripture is at this time but God hears our prayers.

Jackie Lee,
Yes that is one thing that I hold on to a lot lately, James 5:16 "Confess your faults one to another and pray for one another that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." I love that verse :D That's a good reminder.
Thanks,
Kathy :)

Oh yes I meant to tell you, too that my sister is scheduled to have a lung scan on the day after Thanksgiving. Thanks for remembering her in your prayers.
Kathy :)
-
I just got a call from Mary (my sister) she said they called her in to get the lung scan yesterday. The Dr. called her last night and said the scan showed a spot on her lung. She said she is scheduled to see a pulmonary specialist tomorrow. I told her to hang in there because everyone is praying for her. I told her we are praying that whatever it is they will either take it out, cure it, or if she has to have it for awhile that they can treat it. She will call me after her appointment tomorrow and let me know what the lung doc. says.
Please everyone keep her in your prayers. I know that God can heal it completely if that is in His plan for her.
Kathy :)

Kathy, I sure will keep her in my prayers. A few years ago they found a nodule on my lung. It turned out to be ok. Then , twice they found things on my kidneys that looked like cancer. It was really a hard time waiting. They turned out ok. I have never been a smoker or anything. But, you are right if God wills she will be ok. We all just have to keep that in our minds.
In His Love,
Marlene

HI again,
my sister said the lung doc. said he will do a biopsy tomorrow on her lung. He said it could be cancer, but they won't know anything for sure until after the biopsy.
Just keep her in your prayers. I'll update in a few days whenever they get the results of the biopsy.
Thanks,
Kathy :)
-
I will be praying for your sister and for your family.
Hugs,

I just got a call from my sister. The tests have come back and she definitely has lung cancer :'(
She is asking for lots of prayer. I told her there are lots going up for her. The most important thing is God is getting her attention and that of her family. It's sad that sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures.
I have told her that God answers prayer and I'm praying that He will call her and her family to repentance if nothing else. We can only pray that is His will for her is life and healing. Please keep all that in your prayers.
Thank you all for your prayers! You are all a life-line to me. You are my family :)
Kathy :)

Done Kathy.

Kathy, I am so sorry to hear that. I will defintiely keep her in my prayers. The world is so full of the hurting, the sick, the poor . Yes, there could be a silver lining in all of this. Many may turn to god. If, the Lord will she will survive this. But, they will need lots of love and attention. We, should heard today that a woman in my husbands family by marriage has had her lung cancer return. Life is truely like a vapor. We should try and love and get along with all the best we can. For, our Dear Father loves all humanity even the blind. Thats why he died least we forget.
In His Love,
Marlene

I wanted to give a little update on my sister, Mary. She has not been started on any chemo ar anything yet. She's still undergoing tests and xrays. She doesn't have insurance. I want to talk to her about some alternative treatments, I have a lot of information on alternative cancer treatments. I just want you to pray that she can find something she's brave enough to do.
I know God is dealing with her heart in the matter of her life. If it were me I'd do whatever I could to prolong my body's chance of killing off the cancer cells. That means giving the good cells enough strength to make it through to do the job God intends for them (that of renewing and regenerating new good cells and disposing of the cancer cells). BUT we are not talking about me here, this is her life. So I just want you to keep her and me in your prayers as I try to help her make the right choices (not mine, but hers!). I think of how Ray has been fighting his cancer and I know his is very advanced and I am waiting for the news that he has won the battle!
Thanks again for all the prayers!
Kathy :)

I wanted to let you all know that my sister got bad news today from the oncologist. He said the tumor in her lung is the size of a baseball. She is going to have surgery this next Wed. It is very bad so please pray that God's will will be done. That is all I know to do right now. I will give you more as I know it.
Thanks and I love you all,
Kathy

You Got it Kathy!
Peace & Comfort to You!

Kathy, I am still praying for your sister.
Praying for comfort for all, in times like these.

hi kathy,
i will also keep your sister (and you) in my prayers. praying that God's will be done is the best thing you/we can do. but also, God knowing your heart knows that you love your sister and want her to be healed. just tell Him everything. any also remember to believe God's report (His scriptures) and not focus on the oncologists' report. God can heal anything according to His will.

Hi Kathy, Of course, I will pray for your sister Mary. I know how hard it is when it is your sister. But, I will pray Gods will be done. I will also, pray that he will comfort you during this time.
In His Love,
Marlene

Kathy, I am sorry to hear about your sister.
I will keep you both in my prayers.

Hi Kathy,
I am so sorry to hear this news. It is heartbreaking and fear comes on us which must be dealt with. Not an enjoyable task but one that always grows us. I know that with all you have had to go through these past months, you must be emotionally worn out.
I have to agree with Claudia here, "also remember to believe God's report (His scriptures) and not focus on the oncologists' report. God can heal anything according to His Will."
For years now we have gone into the Scriptures to find God's truth there and believe. What a comfort God's Word is during these times.
I pray your sister and you will feel that comfort during this rough time.
Love, Lin

Praying here too! (Your sister is blessed to have you Kathy!)

Amen! God's medicine not Dr. reports. In my thoughts and prayers. So sorry for this trial for you. It will be to God's glory.
I just read Winner08 thread on Change of Heart. I think it would help you Kathy if you haven't already read it.

Thank you everyone for your prayers. It's great to have so many faithful praying.
I visited my sister last night. My son prayed a beautiful over her she was very thankful. We told her that God is greater than any doctor and it is He who gives the doctors the ability to do what they do. She said she is believing that God will heal her. It is her heart that needs to be healed first, not from disease, but from sin. My son told her that God is the one who decides the outcome of everything so not to think that the doctors have the final say!
She is scheduled to have surgery on her lung on Wed. Dec 17th. I wish she would wait and try alternative treatments first, but the doctor told her she has to get the tumor out now! Please continue to pray for her. I just talked to my niece and she said that my sister is feeling pretty well today she was able to sleep well last night so that is good. thank you again for your prayers and kind thoughts.
Kathy :)

Hey Kathy,
I'm sorry to read of what your sister is going through, as well as you, your family and all who are affected. I will pray that God will stay close to all of you, and comfort your sister through her struggles, and give her the strength to endure, and give you all peace and wisdom to guide you through these "fiery trials".
God Bless all of you,
- Christopher

Hi Kathy,
Let us know how your sister is when you can. Hoping and praying that the surgery went well and that Mary is recovering and that you are able to rest a bit.
Love in Christ,

Hi all,
Wanted to report that my sister made it through the surgery just fine, we are thankful that all went well. They removed the right lower lobe of her lung. The doctor said the tumor was much larger than he thought at first. One lymph node was inflamed so he removed that. They will have the pathology on the lymph node in a few days. She looks good tonight and will go to a room tomorrow. She said her surgery went so well because of all the prayers. She wanted me to thank everyone for their prayers. Please keep praying for a complete recovery. Thanks everyone so much! :D
God is good!! ;D
Kathy :)
-
Great news. Let us know about the path report. God is Good.
-
Good news!
The Pathology is back on the lymph nodes it was all clear! The doctor says it was stage one cancer (although the tumor was quite large). He says no Chemo and no radiation! Is that a miracle or what??!!
She is determined that she will never smoke again, but she will need a lot of prayer for that! Everyone in her family smokes and I have repeatedly been warning them they have GOT to quit for her sake and their own as well.
Thank you all for praying for her. God is so good!
Kathy

That's great Kathy!
;D ;D ;D ;D

Great news Kathy,
GOD'S Will is Done in her case. Now she can acknowledge Him by not taking up
smoking again; i was a 2+ packs per day user at one time.
george. ;D :o ;D :-*

Thank you all so much. George I'm glad you quit! My husband was a heavy smoker until 15 years ago, our younger son joined the Air Force and my husband quit smoking the day he left for basic training and never smoked again.
Oh yes the doctor said the reason my sister probably won't need chemo or radiation is because in addition to the lymph node being clear, the surrounding tissues had no cancer in them! He said that the tumor was localized in that lower lobe of her lung, she was very blessed! He told her that she was one of the fortunate ones because lung cancer usually doesn't present symptoms until it is in the late stages. She first went to the doctor because her feet and legs were swelling and so painful she just couldn't walk! If it hadn't been for that she wouldn't have known she had the cancer until way later in the game!
I told her the pain in her legs and feet were God tapping her on the shoulder telling her to pay attention!
We are thanking God for so much this year! ;D
I am thanking Him also for all of you! :D
Kathy :-*

Kathy, I am so Happy for you and your sister and her family. God is Good. I will keep her in my prayers and that she will over come addiction . I hope her family will try and support her . I would say it is a miracle for her.
In His Love,
Marlene
-
Great news Kathy! ;D ;D ;D
-
Oh I love hearing how God works in our lives!!! I hope it will be easy for her to quit smoking.
-
I too am praying for your sister. She sounds like a very giving person. In giving does she neglect herself? You see my wife and mom are like that. They will give and give to it hurts and I mean hurts. At the end they are the ones suffering because they gave so much that they jeopardized their health. Are most moms like this?? I don't know> Mine are (mom and wife) So I really do pray that your sister is healthy once more.
She sounds like a wonderful person.
-
Oh yes, my sister is one of those, for sure. I am hoping this ordeal will help her see that not only can she do for others but also she can let others do things for her. I'm hoping her family will come to appreciate her more now and try to help her more. I think this is going to help her be more aware of what God can do.
I know that she is more appreciative of life, for sure!
I have told her there are a lot of people on this forum who have been praying for her and sending well wishes. She said that is so sweet of all of you to think of her and pray for her.
I felt bad Thursday morning, the morning after her surgery, they changed the sheets on her bed while she was in it. She said that was so painful moving around she said she cried out to God for help. Then she said, "I said, 'Oh why isn't Kathy here praying for me?' " I told her I had been praying for her several times throughout the night. I guess I should have stayed with her that night, but she was in CCU and they don't let you stay in there all night!
I may stay at the hospital with her tonight. I'll tell you I made the ultimate sacrifice for her though...I downloaded a Loretta Lynn gospel album on my laptop. I'm taking it with me to the hospital tonight! :D She LOVES Loretta Lynn!
You know, "I was Born a Coal miner's daugter, in a cabin on a hill on Butcher Holler..."
If you know anything about Loretta Lynn, that is just who my sister reminds me of! Ha ;D She is 8 years older than I am, we were raised by the same parents and we were both raised in Arizona. I don't know how she became such a country hick!! :D :D Well, anyway there you have it, way too much information!!
Love y'all :D
Kathy ;)
